If i ever found myself from an unselfconscious message-machine left for a single confidant to somehow having my semi-coherent message broadcast over the internet via blog, i'd cry. wait, i guess that already kinda happened with a really bad photo. nevermind.

it appears that we're being mis-understood here. That message was put on here in a loving way. I've actually had that message saved on my cell phone for several days, and would occasionally listen to it just because i found it so cute.

We put it on the blog to immortalize it. We like it just that much.

sarah: are you talking about the peacock photo? Man, are you crazy? That's a Great photograph!
